Family Office (UAE only)

Family offices are one of the fastest-growing asset protection, investment and succession planning vehicles in the world. High-net-worth families are seeing the value of having a centralised function to manage their wealth, business assets and plan for their legacy.

The concept of a family office works by centralising the family’s businesses and business assets under one umbrella, which in turn, assists the family in managing wealth and other ancillary functions attached to this. A bespoke solution is applied, and therewith also avoids the unwelcomed nightmare of improper succession planning in the case of death.

Mezzle assists you with managing your family office by corporatising your ownership structure, setting up a centralised system and managing this system from a legal perspective for you.

Often family structures will have a broad range of business interests, with management responsibilities and ownership entitlement spread across multiple family members, which can make them complex. You may also face challenges with incoming new family members and how to onboard them into the family and the existing corporate structure. Mezzle helps simplify this for you and offers a holistic approach, providing sufficient flexibility when managing personal and family wealth.
